Business Central Samples - Take Order

The Take Order sample demonstrates how you can build a customized user experience for servers at restaurants, using Power Apps powered by Business Central.

The app allows servers to seat guests at a table and provides an intuitive UI for easily taking their orders. The sample includes a Business Central extension, a Power App, and a Power Automate flow. The extension adds the appropriate APIs and extends the items and customer tables with the following fields:

• Items

  • SoldInRestaurant: Indicates if the item should appear in the app
  • LongItemDescription and AllergenInformation: Optional fields that the app can utilize

• Customers

  • IsTable: Indicates that the customer should appear as a table within the app

The extension also includes a sample data page called Take Order sample data, which contains an action to generate sample items and tables for the app to use.

Note: The sample data generator has only been tested with US versions of Business Central. Adjustments may be necessary for other locales.

Try the sample yourself

Follow the steps in the Try our sample apps guide to try the sample with your own tenant.

No item image is displayed in Canvas

Hi @andersgMSFT,

I created this sample following the steps in Fork the Repository.

Should the canvas app display image of an items?

Wrong property for "ItemsWithImages" data source

Problem

Some customers are getting errors when removing and re-adding the itemsWithImages data source - which is a step in the manual setup

The error says that the column names of the data source do not exists.

Ex. "Sold In Restaurant" does not exists on the data source.

Work around

Try to re-add the data source and reload the Power App maker page.

If that does not work, go through the app and update the references to use camel casing instead.

e.g. "Sold in Restaurant" --> soldInRestaurant

Investigation (so far)

The mapping to the API properties are defined as "ConnectedDataSourceInfoNameMapping" in the Data source definition files. We are seeing inconsistent behavior from Power Apps when generating these.

We are in contact with the Power Apps Team to find a solution
